Xie Xun was confused by Xia Ruofei's "thank you," but when Xia Ruofei knocked on the door of the pickup truck, his attention was immediately attracted.
In the back of the pickup truck, there were three large plastic finishing boxes neatly placed side by side.
Xie Xun glanced at them and laughed. "Old Ling, Old Li, this young man is quite creative! He's actually using plastic boxes to store Arowana? "
Ling Xiaotian's face darkened, and she ignored Xie Xun. Li Zongheng and the others were not as sharp-tongued as Xie Xun. Although they were slightly disappointed, at least they maintained their poise and maintained a smile on their faces.
Xia Ruofei said lightly, "Mr. Xie, there's meat in the buns, not in the folds. If you want a beautiful fish tank, you can have any design custom-made for five thousand yuan!"
Xie Xun sneered. Xia Ruofei was too lazy to respond. Before Xie Xun could say anything else, Xia Ruofei opened the back of the pickup truck, lifted a plastic finishing box, and gently placed it on the ground.
Xia Ruofei's movements were fast and steady. The Arowana in the plastic box did not even feel the vibration, and was still leisurely swimming in the plastic box.
Before Xia Ruofei could turn around to move the second plastic box, he heard a series of gasps behind him, so he turned around to take a look.
He saw that other than Ling Xiaotian, the other five people were all staring at the plastic finishing box on the ground with their eyes wide open. Xie Xun's disdainful smile froze on his face, and he looked a little funny.
Shock!
Fanaticism!
Disbelief!
All kinds of emotions could be seen in the eyes of these people.
Without a doubt, Xie Xun's expression was the most vivid. He thought that Xia Ruofei was just being stubborn, and he had even made a bet of two million yuan. Although two million yuan was nothing to him, it would be too embarrassing if he lost to a young man like Xia Ruofei, especially in front of his old friends like Li Zongheng.
Xie Xun looked at the two Blood Red Dragons leisurely in the plastic finishing boxes, and a sense of uneasiness rose in his heart.
Xia Ruofei saw everyone's expressions, smiled faintly, turned around, and continued to move the other two boxes out of the truck, and placed them side by side on the ground behind the pickup truck.
"They're all Blood Red Dragons!" Li Zongheng's voice had a hint of excitement. "Xia, you … where did you get so many Blood Red Dragons? This is incredible … "
Xia Ruofei's face had a faint smile, but he didn't say anything.
Li Zongheng also knew that he had asked something that he shouldn't have. Xia Ruofei had his own way of getting such high quality Blood Red Dragons, so why would he tell him?
Li Zongheng smiled awkwardly, and looked at Ling Xiaotian.
Ling Xiaotian was originally a bit worried, but when the six Blood Red Dragons appeared in front of everyone, he finally relaxed, and a proud expression appeared on his face.
Ling Xiaotian looked at the absent-minded Xie Xun, laughed, and said, "Xie Lao San, the bet just now still stands, right?"
Xie Xun looked at Xia Ruofei with a complicated expression, then said, "When have I, Xie Lao San, ever not kept my word? Old Li, you guys judge! "
Actually, everyone here was an old player in the ornamental fish industry. These big bosses especially favored Red Arowana, including Xie Xun himself. They could pretty much guess the result with one look, so why would they need to judge carefully?
However, since it involved a bet of two million, Li Zongheng and the others carefully went closer to take a look. They compared the body shape, head shape, scales, hair color, and so on.
After a while, Li Zongheng and Xu Desheng quietly exchanged opinions. Then, with Li Zongheng as the representative, he looked at Xie Xun and said, "Old Xie, we all agree that Xia Ruofei won this bet."
Xia Ruofei still had a calm expression, and said, "Thank you, Director Li."
On the other hand, Ling Xiaotian laughed and asked, "Xie Lao San, do you have any objections to Old Li's judgment?"
Xie Xun's face alternated between red and white. Actually, when he saw the six fish, Xie Xun knew that his chances of winning were very small. However, he still had a bit of hope. If one of the fish had some inconspicuous flaw, as long as it couldn't compare to Ling Xiaotian's two blood red dragons, then he would still win this bet.
However, Li Zongheng and the others' judgment completely shattered his fantasy.
However, although Xie Xun had a sharp tongue, he was still a man of his word. Of course, this was in front of his old friends. He didn't want to lose face, so he said straightforwardly, "This time I, Old Xie, made a mistake! I accept this bet! "
After that, Xie Xun didn't hesitate to take out his checkbook. With a gold pen, he wrote a check for two million yuan and handed it to Xia Ruofei, saying, "Young man, the younger generation will surpass us in time!"
Xia Ruofei took the check with a smile. He just glanced at the numbers on it, and put it away without checking its authenticity. In this kind of situation, the possibility of Xie Xun cheating or even writing a fake check was almost zero.
"Thank you, Director Xie!" Xia Ruofei said again.
Xie Xun suddenly thought of the "thank you" Xia Ruofei said before she opened the car door, and the gloominess in his heart increased. So, the other party was already confident in winning, and he was just rushing to give the money away.
Empiricism really killed people! Ling Xiaotian's pair of blood red dragons were obviously very rare. How could there be six blood red dragons of the same grade at the same time?
What made Xie Xun even more depressed was that the quality of these six fish was not inferior to Ling Xiaotian's pair at all. They were slightly longer than Ling Xiaotian's pair, and they seemed to have a hint of spiritual charm. Anyone with a discerning eye could almost tell the difference at a glance.
After the bet was over, everyone's attention was focused on the six blood red dragons.
Ling Xiaotian cleared her throat and asked, "Ruofei, are you going to sell these six fish?"
There was some reluctance in his eyes. After all, each of the six fish was quite eye-catching, and it was not suitable for him to compete with his old friends on this occasion. As an old player who loved fish so much, this was worse than taking his life.
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course! Uncle Ling, everyone, I'm going to sell these six fish in three pairs, which means that whoever wants to buy them will have to buy a pair at once. "
Li Zongheng, Xu Desheng, and the others all nodded. These people were not lacking in money, and if possible, they would like to buy all six of them. Xia Ruofei's proposal to sell them in pairs was naturally what they wanted. It was a good sign to sell them in pairs!
In fact, Xia Ruofei had only thought of this on the spur of the moment.
Ling Xiaotian had gathered five fish lovers. He had six blood red dragons, and if he sold them individually, all five of them would definitely be able to buy them. However, if he sold them in pairs, it was destined that at most, only three people would be able to buy them.
The biggest difference was that there was a sense of competition. Obviously, this kind of selling method could raise the price, which was what Xia Ruofei wanted to see.
Ling Xiaotian thought for a moment and understood Xia Ruofei's intention. She could not help but glance at Xia Ruofei with a faint smile, thinking that this kid was quite sly.
Li Zongheng and the others' attention was all attracted by the Red arowana, so they did not care at all whether they bought one or a pair.
Li Zongheng and Guo Qinglin's eyes were flashing, and they looked at one of the boxes intentionally or unintentionally. However, they were all old and cunning bosses, so they hid it very well.
Of course, Xia Ruofei's eyes were very sharp. He was already keenly aware of it.
However, Xia Ruofei was still calm and collected. He walked over to one of the plastic boxes and put it down in the middle of the yard. Then, he smiled and said, "Bosses, this is the first pair of blood red dragons to be sold today. The rules are very simple. Everyone just bid, and the highest bidder gets it!"
Li Zongheng once again glanced at the remaining two plastic boxes next to Xia Ruofei. Then, he laughed and said, "Then I'll give a price first! This pair of blood red dragons, whether it's the color of their hair or the shape of their bodies, can be said to be the best. I'll give five million! "
Li Zongheng offered five million right off the bat, and the average price of each fish had reached 2.5 million. It had far exceeded the two million price that Xie Xun had mentioned earlier. Xie Xun could not help but blush.
Xu Desheng did not hesitate and said, "Boss Li is a bit conservative today! I'll give 5.5 million! "
"5.88 million!" Yang Dahua also stared at the pair of blood red dragons, full of desire, and gave his price.
Guo Qinglin, who looked like a skinny old man, looked at it, but in the end, he did not bid. He laughed and said, "This is only the first pair, and everyone is fighting so fiercely. I'll wait for the next pair …"
Yang Dahua grinned and said, "Brothers, why don't you let me win? I really like this pair of blood red dragons. Anyway, there are still two more pairs. You can continue to compete! "
Although Yang Dahua did not say it clearly, his meaning was very obvious. Everyone was competing, and in the end, Xia Ruofei would benefit. Although they were not short of money, there was no need to be a fool.
Li Zongheng thought for a moment and said, "Since Boss Yang has spoken, we have to give him face!"
After that, he closed his mouth. Obviously, he was not going to bid anymore.
Xu Desheng had been thinking, and did not make a clear statement.
At this time, Xie Xun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said to Xia Ruofei, "Little brother, that … hehe … can I bid?"
Xie Xun had just had a small argument with Xia Ruofei, and he had lost 2 million. However, the quality of these six Red arowana was too good. He had been in the ornamental fish business for many years, but he had never seen such close to perfect blood red dragons. Therefore, he could keep a straight face at first, but when he saw Yang Dahua and the others bidding, his heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Of course you can. These blood red dragons are for sale. As long as Boss Xie bids the highest, I can sell them to you."
Hearing this, Ling Xiaotian could not help but open her mouth. Xia Ruofei saw this and immediately stopped him, "Uncle Ling, you don't have to participate …"
When Xie Xun heard this, he glared and said, "Old Ling, why are you still here? The pair of blood red dragons that Xia Ruofei found for you is already good enough! You can't take all the benefits, can you? "
Lin Xiaotian chuckled awkwardly and waved his hand. "Fine, fine, fine. You guys fight for it! I'll just watch from the side, okay? "
"That's more like it …" Xie Xun muttered.
Yang Dahua asked impatiently, "Old Xie, are you going to bid or not? If not, this pair of blood red dragons is mine! "
Xie Xun immediately said, "Bid! Why not? I'll bid 6 million for this pair of blood red dragons! "
"You …" Yang Dahua did not expect Xie Xun to actually bid after being provoked by him.
Blood Red Arowanas of the highest quality were priceless. There was no clear standard for the price. Red Arowanas of the highest quality were sold for thousands to tens of thousands. The highest price recorded in the auction a few years ago was five million. Therefore, three million was already a very high price.
Xu Desheng was originally wondering if the price was worth it. Seeing Xie Xun raise the price again, he did not think about it and retreated to the side.
Yang Dahua opened his eyes wide and said, "Six million two hundred thousand!"
Xie Xun curled his lips and said, "6.5 million! Old Yang, I want this pair of blood red dragons! "
Yang Dahua was so angry that he rolled his eyes. Why did this old man bite whoever he caught? He raised the price by a few hundred thousand all of a sudden. He was simply crazy!
Xia Ruofei looked at these big bosses bidding, and his heart was blooming with joy.
Yang Dahua finally chose to give up. Xie Xun was a madman who did not play by the rules. It was not worth it to fight with him until both sides suffered losses. Anyway, there were still two more pairs. There was no need to fight with him here.
Thus, Xie Xun got his wish and bought the first pair of blood red dragons at the price of 6.5 million.
He was so happy that his bald head seemed to be shining. He laughed and took out his checkbook, signed a check for 6.5 million, and handed it to Xia Ruofei. Then, he carefully carried the plastic container to the side and looked at the two blood red dragons. The more he looked at them, the more he liked them.
Xie Xun took out his phone and made a call. He sent someone to bring a special fish tank and drive over to pick up the pair of blood red dragons.
After arranging everything, Xie Xun came over to watch the fun.
Xia Ruofei moved the second plastic container to the middle of the yard. He deliberately left the plastic container that Li Zongheng and Guo Qinglin looked at a few more times.
Xia Ruofei pointed to the plastic container in the middle of the yard and said with a smile, "Just now, Mr. Xie successfully bought a pair of blood red dragons. There are only two pairs left! If you want them, you'll have to work harder. Now, let's start bidding! "
This pair of blood red dragons was two or three centimeters shorter than Xie Xun's, so Yang Dahua started with a price of 4 million.
However, it was obviously unrealistic to buy a pair of blood red dragons for 4 million, especially under the covetous eyes of these tycoons.
The price quickly climbed up.
Even Xie Xun was eager to bid again. However, under the strong protests of Yang Dahua and the others, Xia Ruofei could only stand up and say that those who already bought the blood red dragons couldn't participate in the next round of bidding.
Only then did Xie Xun move to the side and become a complete spectator with Ling Xiaotian.
Xia Ruofei had been secretly observing Li Zongheng and Guo Qinglin. He found that although they seemed to be very active in bidding, they didn't raise the price by much. When the price climbed to 5.5 million, the two decisively stopped bidding.
They didn't seem to want the first two pairs of fish … Xia Ruofei made his own judgment.
On the other side, Xu Desheng and Yang Dahua were still bidding.
The price of this pair of blood red dragons rose all the way to 5.8 million.
In the end, Yang Dahua, who was more eager to buy, bought this pair of blood red dragons for 6 million.
In a short period of time, plus the 2 million that Yang Dahua lost to him, Xia Ruofei had already earned 14.5 million.
Even Xia Ruofei was secretly shocked. This money came too quickly — he had only paid attention to these Red arowana when they were laying eggs. After that, he basically raised them in the space. It could be said that it cost him nothing. In just half a year, he had sold them for such a high price.
One had to know that there were more than 60 Red arowana of similar quality in the space!
Of course, the market for this kind of high-end ornamental fish was limited. Xia Ruofei couldn't sell so many of them at once. He could only release a few every once in a while.
Even so, Xia Ruofei was very satisfied with this amazing profit.
Yang Dahua also wrote a check for 6 million in cash to Xia Ruofei. Then he picked up the plastic container and called his subordinates to bring the fish tank to pick it up.
Xia Ruofei thoughtfully glanced at Li Zongheng and Guo Qinglin. Then with a faint smile, he moved the last plastic container to the middle of the yard.
